Spring Of Scoundrels Week #2

Book: Londonโ€™s Perfect Scoundrel

Before I begin:

Once again, I donโ€™t know much but I trust SBU and the books they pick. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Iโ€™m willing to read a book and participate ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ be pleasantly surprised ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜

Monday

Read todayโ€™s chapters ๐Ÿ˜

Evie hasnโ€™t picked a victim YET but, judging by the animosity and fascination with Saint, itโ€™ll be Saint ๐Ÿค— Having a hard time taking Saint seriouslyโ€ฆ A man so rakish to be chairman of the board?!

  • Surprised but pleased Evie and her friends make up rules ๐Ÿ˜Š Have yet to pick victims ๐Ÿ˜ Totally missed the kiss ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‡ Iโ€™m sure thereโ€™ll be more ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ Siblings stirring up trouble ๐Ÿ˜ No remark on the narration ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ But, a part of me, doesnโ€™t want to understand ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‡
  • Also want to finish soon! Anyplay really does have chapter breakdowns ๐Ÿ˜ Also reading Twisted Love โค๏ธ Waiting for the rules of conduct to kick in (is that the premise of the series?) if so ๐Ÿค— Mustache spinning villains ๐Ÿฅธ ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ good imagery!
  • 2nd the theory where Evie finds out Saint is selling the orphanage so Evie uses the list on Saint. The fact itโ€™s just a theory tells me the plot is SLOWLY moving along AnD not completely original ๐Ÿค” Not too familiar with Byron so ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ

Tuesday

Evie hasnโ€™t picked a victim YET but, judging by the animosity and fascination with Saint, itโ€™ll be Saint ๐Ÿค— Having a hard time taking Saint seriouslyโ€ฆ A man so rakish to be chairman of the board?!

Wednesday

Saint flirts with Evie ๐Ÿ˜ meet Evieโ€™s mother ๐Ÿ˜‚ Evie working for orphanage ๐Ÿคซ๐Ÿ˜‚ Saint wants a kiss ๐Ÿ˜˜ Evie to kiss Saint ๐Ÿ˜˜โšพ๏ธ The ending to todayโ€™s chapters were unexpected but I can see it can lead to more in the plot (and more fun ๐Ÿ˜‚) Interesting role reversal (h usually kidnapped) ๐Ÿค” 

  • The plot twist ๐Ÿคฏ Victor is a controlling influence in her life ๐Ÿคฌ Why not set boundaries?! Anyone care to explain to me? ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ BONKERS forreal!

Thursday

In this section, Saint and Evie consummate ๐Ÿ˜ Not entirely sure how Saint was releasedโ€ฆ Saintโ€™s plans to blackmail Evie for a repeat ๐Ÿ˜ not sure how I feel about it thoughโ€ฆ The chapter breakdowns are conveniently placed for discussion ๐Ÿ˜ With a blackmail ploy in play, does that mean lessons are out?

  • Imprisonment here is a way to indicate power, with it gone, weโ€™re back to patriarchal structure of itโ€ฆ Imprisonment not cool but as plot device I like it ๐Ÿ˜ Recs where a heroine imprisons the hero? Weโ€™re at a crossroad I think ๐Ÿค” The author can write the plot more towards blackmail (traditional) or the memory of the kidnapping (new power dynamics)
  • Any book after LOS will be missing something ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ Agreed Saint ๐Ÿ‘Ž feels harder to root for himโ€ฆ I did feel sympathy when he showed his lonely side thoughโ€ฆ

Friday

Realized may have blogged at an incorrect time ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ but regardless weโ€™re reading to the end of the book. This season, Iโ€™ve been reading more blue stocking heroines ๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™€๏ธ (thanks to SBU ๐Ÿ˜). Victor showing some recognition of Evieโ€™s networking prowess (finally!) But this will only end when sheโ€™s married.
